This procurement process, under the industry category of construction work with a focus on roof supports, falls under the selective procurement method and was conducted via a call-off from a framework agreement. The award stage was completed on 15th May 2026, with the contract scheduled to run from 14th January 2026 to 14th December 2026. The procurement initiative addresses significant health and safety concerns identified in previous inspections of the Dungavel IRC in Scotland, United Kingdom. This tender presents business growth opportunities particularly for large-scale construction firms with expertise in structural refurbishments and managing extensive repairs. Companies experienced in addressing complex structural issues, such as water ingress and significant material defects, would find this project suitable, although it is not aimed at SMEs or voluntary organisations. Given the stringent requirements and the substantial contract value of £1,626,458.77, only firms capable of handling high-value and technically demanding construction tasks are ideal candidates to have pursued this opportunity. ## Notice Originally investigating for the presence of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete(RRAC) within the main house building at Dungavel IRC, a visual inspection was carried out in March 2024 to define the buildings structural condition. Despite no indication of the presence of RRAC, the inspection identified the poor structural condition of the roof, and the significant deflection and distortion of the two built-up steel girders, the ends of which were partially being pulled out of the brickwork walls. This girder had deflected beyond a serviceable state whilst the ridge beam's timer support post also showed significant defects which included a disconnected knee brace timber. A subsequent visual inspection carried out in November 2024 identified significant water ingress issues within the basement below the main house building. The water ingress was understood to be a longstanding issue and has caused water-related damage to structural elements within the basement. Neither the source nor the cause of the water ingress is currently known. The defective roof and water ingress issues within the basement pose major structural Health and Safety concerns. The Home Office seeks to undertake a refurbishment to address any non-compliant areas and disrepair of the roof and basement in the main house building at Dungavel IRC. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/633cd8da-5893-4db9-90b2-4d2b92aa0843 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 May 2026 | | Submission deadline | 1 Aug 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 27 Oct 2025 | | Contract period | 14 Jan 2026 - 14 Dec 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,626,458 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £1,626,458 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF JUSTICE | | Locality | WESTMINSTER | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 9AJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | WATES CONSTRUCTION | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 44112420 - Roof supports - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 15 May 2026 at 10:29 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/633cd8da-5893-4db9-90b2-4d2b92aa0843 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/633cd8da-5893-4db9-90b2-4d2b92aa0843 15th May 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c2d917ce-3ca1-4ded-a536-b72dcf149b12 n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
